Websites browseable on PocketPc Internet Explorer

Postby Jeremy_Nevill » Jan 30, 2001 @ 9:51am

Hi,<br>I'm building up a directory of PocketPc browseable sites at .  I'm running the site with no graphics, no adverts and just links on to decent sites that display well on the PocketPc version of IE. <br><br>If anyone knows of some good sites tailored to the PocketPc browser then please let us know and we'll add it the the directory.  My faves so far are the BBC news site, the Onion and also the Ministry of Sound radio stream.  <br><br>We use the IPAQ with a compaq wireless network card... works a treat ;-)<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Jeremy<br>

Beleive it or not the site you just posted on is optimized for the PockePC. We used some special coding techniqes that let us decide what is and isnt shown while on pocketIE. If you are interested in using these methods on your site, click the developer link at the top.

Hi,<br>Can you tell me which link is not working and I'll take a look.  I've checked the site with the Pocket PC Emulator and with my Ipaq without probs... still that never proves it works on all machines (thank god we don't have Netscape on the PocketPc ;-)  )<br><br>Thanks for your comments,<br><br>Jeremy Nevill

hehe Netscape sucks, and no matter how much I hate to endorse a MS product, IE really isn't that bad.
